To address the challenges of efficient and safe denitrification under actual flue gas conditions of internal combustion engine, high-temperature SCR molecular sieve catalyst were prepared and evaluated both in laboratory scale and industrial scale. A comprehensive characterization via TG, XRD, N₂ adsorption-desorption, SEM, and TEM confirmed the robust thermal stability of the molecular sieves catalyst. The molecular sieve catalyst system was commissioned in a 4275 kW distributed natural gas internal combustion engine demonstration facility and successfully passed the 72 h trial running, achieving with over 94 % NO x conversion efficiency and less than 40 mg/m 3 outlet NO x concentration at a temperature range of 440–525 °C. Compared to conventional V-based catalyst, the molecular sieve catalyst not only achieved additional reductions of 2 kg/h NO x and 38 kg/h CO 2 emissions, along with a nearly 2 % improvement in internal combustion engine efficiency, but also effectively mitigated the risk of system shutdown caused by low cylinder temperatures in exhaust gas purification systems, being considered as a promising catalyst for high-temperature applications, including gas-fired, hydrogen/ammonia-fueled, and biogas internal combustion engines.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as fillers show attractive selectivity and permeability for gas separation. However, the performance improvement is restricted by undesirable interfacial interaction and inhomogeneous dispersion of MOFs in the membrane matrix. In this paper, amino-functionalized UIO-66 (U6N) with high porosity was employed as a filler and further regulated by a controlled plant polyphenol-induced surface modification strategy. The process involved the formation of tannic acid-iron(III) complex (TA-Fe(III)) on the U6N surface, which improved interfacial compatibility with the polyimide matrix while introducing abundant hydroxyl groups to enhance gas transport properties. Accordingly, the modified MMMs containing 30 wt.% U6N@TA-Fe(III) achieved optimized gas separation performance. Specifically, the CO 2 permeability increased to about 2495.9 Barrer with a CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 19.32, which exceeded the 2008 Robeson upper limit and showed an increase of 22.1% and 25.6%, respectively, compared to the MMMs embedded with unmodified U6N. Moreover, the improved dispersion of the U6N@TA-Fe(III) within the membrane structure is conducive to improving separation performance for CO 2 /N 2 and O 2 /N 2 . Therefore, this work provides a novel insight into the rational design of the MMMs via a facile modification strategy, which can further improve the gas separation performance of the MMMs.

Hydrogen production is crucial for supporting the energy transition and achieving carbon neutrality goals. However, conventional natural gas steam reforming suffers from high temperatures, which lead to substantial exergy losses, promote carbon deposition, and compromise operational stability. Here, a mid-temperature (500–600 °C) chemical looping steam reforming (CLSR) process is proposed for efficient natural gas conversion. Fe Ni oxygen carrier particles were developed by varying Fe/Al precursors, calcination temperatures, and powder sizes to achieve modulated physico-chemical properties. Systematic evaluation of chemical reactivity and physical indicators identified nm-Fe 2 O 3 -γ-Al 2 O 3 calcined at 1200 °C as the optimal formulation, combining high reactivity with a mechanical strength of 55.3 N. Reaction behavior was further investigated in a bench-scale packed-bed reactor with 100 g oxygen carrier loading. At 600 °C and a steam-to‑carbon ratio of 1.5, the optimized process achieved over 85 % natural gas conversion and nearly 100 % ethane conversion, yielding a hydrogen production of 25 mL g OC −1 and an H 2 /CO ratio of 1.8. In addition, long-term stability tests confirmed that the oxygen carriers retained their oxygen transfer capacity and microstructure after 1000 isothermal redox cycles, while cold attrition tests showed a mass loss of only 0.73 % over 2 h. Furthermore, in-situ DRIFTs and XRD provided clear mechanistic insights into the CLSR process over Fe Ni oxygen carriers, confirming the reaction pathway of natural gas activation and hydrogen production. Collectively, these findings highlight the promising performance of CLSR as an efficient route for low-carbon hydrogen production from natural gas.`.

Developing efficient sorbents with rapid kinetics is the main challenge encountered for Hg0 capture from coal combustion flue gas in a sorbent injection scenario. Binary mineral sulfide-based materials combining copper sulfide (CuS) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) to exert their capabilities for Hg0 capture at the low- and high-temperature was for the first time reported for Hg0 removal to realize a wide temperature range sorbents. When the molar ratio between CuS and ZnS was 10%, the as-synthesized 10Cu-Zn nanocomposite exhibited excellent Hg0 uptake rate at 150°C that could degrade 40 μg/m3 of Hg0 to undetectable level at the end of a 60-s experiment with the dosage of only 1 mg. This Hg0 uptake rate is folds higher compared to that when bare CuS or ZnS was adopted alone at this specific temperature. The typical flue gas atmospheres had negligible effect on Hg0 removal over 10Cu-Zn in a short contact time, which further suggests that the binary sorbents were proper to be injected before the electrostatic precipitator system. Moreover, it is found that, by adjusting the ratio between CuS and ZnS, it is potential to develop binary sorbent suiting any temperature conditions that may achieve an exceedingly high Hg0 capture performance. Thus, this work not only justified the candidature of 10Cu-Zn as a promising alternative to traditional activated carbon for Hg0 capture from coal combustion flue gas but also guided the future development of multi-component mineral sulfide-based sorbents for Hg0 pollution remediation from various industrial flue gases.

Metal sulfide-based gas sensors have the advantage of high sensitivity at room temperature, enabling high integration and low power consumption. However, a trade-off between low baseline resistance and good long-term stability at room temperature still needs to be addressed. Therefore, a single-atom Ce-targeted regulation strategy for p-SnS/n-SnS 2 was proposed. By doping different amounts of Ce, the amount and size of SnS quantum dots on the surface of SnS 2 can be regulated. Furthermore, Sn-S-Ce bonds are formed by combining single-atom Ce with SnS, which effectively hinders the growth and oxidation of SnS quantum dots, as evidenced by STEM, XPS, DFT, FTIR and EAXFS methods. Due to the unique energy band structure of p-SnS and n-SnS 2 , Ce-doped SnS quantum dots serve as electronic sensitizers, effectively increasing the carrier concentration in SnS 2 . The optimal gas sensor based on the 1% Ce-doped SnS/SnS 2 composites enables high sensitivity (with a response of 22.1 to 1 ppm NO 2 ), ultralow detection limit (1 ppb), excellent long-term stability at room temperature, and a lower baseline resistance. This engineering strategy of metal sulfide semiconductor heterostructures through single-atom targeted regulation provides new insights for further optimizing the composite system.

Metal oxide quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) nanostructures have a very good gas-sensing performance due to their large surface area and porous structures with a less agglomerated configuration. However, the well-designed fragile nanostructures could be easily destroyed during the conventional fabrication process of gas sensors. Herein, we presented a novel materials-sensor integration fabrication strategy: on basis of screen printing (SP) technology and calcination , micro-injecting (MI) was introduced into the fabrication process of sensors, which was named as SPMIC, to obtain In 2 O 3 nanowire-like network directly on the surface of coplanar sensors array by structure replication from sacrificial carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The obtained In 2 O 3 nanowire-like network exhibited an excellent response (electrical resistance ratio R a / R g ), about 63.5, for100 ppm formaldehyde at 300 °C, which was about 30 times larger than that of compact In 2 O 3 nanoparticles film (non-network film). The enhanced gas-sensing properties were mainly attributed to the high surface-to-volume ratio and the nanoscopic structural properties of materials. Furthermore, the SPMIC could be employed not only in the preparation of other metal oxide nanowire-like network, but also in the fabrication of coplanar gas sensors arrays on the required sites with different materials.

Because of the high toxicity of hydrazine, the development of ultrasensitive fluorescent probes for hydrazine has been challenging. In this work, an ultrasensitive fluorescent probe based on o -phthalaldehyde has been exploited for hydrazine. The probe was designed based on creating an efficient fluorophore by incorporating hydrazine into o -phthalaldehyde framework via an intermolecular condensation-cyclization reaction. The probe could quickly detect hydrazine and displayed a high sensitivity for hydrazine with a LOD of 1.9 nM (0.06 ppb), which is far below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standard (10 ppb). Moreover, the probe was successfully applied to the detection of hydrazine in real water samples and hydrazine vapor.

Real-time detection and degradation of chemical warfare agents have great importance in both human healthcare and environmental protection. Herein, hierarchical Fe 2 O 3 nanotube arrays were constructed by a simple in situ solvothermal method for effective monitoring of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfur enigma (2-CEES). The resultant Fe 2 O 3 sensor exhibited ultrahigh response (9.6) and short response time (3.7 s) to 10 ppm 2-CEES at 170 ℃. The sensor also behaved low detection limit (30 ppb), good stability, and high moisture resistance . Notably, Fe 2 O 3 nanotube arrays demonstrated high degradation capacity (95.2%) (100 ppm, 10 min). Such excellent performance of the portable Fe 2 O 3 sensor for 2-CEES comes from the synergistic effect of multiple microstructural features , active sites, and surface-adsorbed oxygen species at operating temperature. The 2-CEES sensing mechanism of Fe 2 O 3 nanotube arrays has been discussed in detail. This work offers guidance for designing high-performance sensing materials to realize efficient detection of chemical warfare agents.

Pure and Ho-doped In 2 O 3 nanotubes (NTs) and porous nanotubes (PNTs) were successfully synthesized by conventional electrospinning process and the following calcination at different temperatures. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectrometer, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy were carefully used to investigate the morphologies, structures and chemical compositions of these samples. Their sensing properties toward ethanol gas were studied. Compared with pure In 2 O 3 NTs (response value is 17), pure In 2 O 3 PNTs (response value is 20) demonstrated enhanced sensing characteristics. What’s more, the response of Ho-doped In 2 O 3 PNTs sensors to 100 ppm ethanol was up to 60 at 240 °C, which increased three times more than that of the pure In 2 O 3 PNTs. Additionally, the minimum concentration for ethanol was 200 ppb (response value is 2). The increased gas-sensing ability was attributed not only to the hollow and porous structure, but to the Ho dopant. Furthermore, Ho-doped In 2 O 3 PNTs enable sensor to discriminate between ethanol and the other gas distinctly, particularly acetone that is usually indistinguishable from ethanol. Also, by analyzing XRD, TGA and Raman spectrometer, a possible formation mechanism of porous nanotubes and sensing mechanism were put forward.

C 4 F 7 N is considered to be the most potential alternative gas for SF 6 . However, harmful decomposition by-products generated by the discharge or overheating faults will pose threat to safe operation and service life of gas insulated equipment (GIE). Herein, we investigated the adsorption performance of γ -Al 2 O 3 on C 4 F 7 N and its decomposition products to evaluate the possibility of using it as by-products adsorbent or exhaust treatment material. It is found that γ -Al 2 O 3 demonstrates superior adsorption capacity for CF 4 , C 2 F 6 , C 3 F 8 , C 3 F 6 , C 2 F 4 , and keeps stable after the interaction. The first-principles calculation infers that γ -Al 2 O 3 has stronger interaction with C 4 F 7 N, C 3 F 6 and C 3 F 8 than that of C 2 F 4 , C 2 F 6 and CF 4 . There exists obvious charge transfer between C 4 F 7 N and γ -Al 2 O 3 , which belongs to chemisorption. The interaction between F 2p orbital and C=C π orbital determines the gas-solid adsorption performance. The desorption properties were also explored and the recovery time was in order of CF 4 < C 2 F 6 < C 2 F 4 < C 3 F 8 < C 4 F 7 N < C 3 F 6 . Overall, the γ -Al 2 O 3 is inappropriate to be used as the adsorbent for decomposition by-products of C 4 F 7 N gas mixture-based GIE, while it can be used as exhaust treatment material for C 4 F 7 N wasted gas.

A coral-like bimodal macro-/mesoporous ZnO was prepared rapidly by self-sustained decomposition of a metal complex. The achieved ZnO powders demonstrated excellent gas-sensing properties for detecting ethanol and acetone because the abundant macropores provided open entrances and channels; whilst the mesopores guaranteed a large contact area for target gases.

An attempt was made to explore the essence of gas selectivity and the miscellaneous reactive sites of stannic oxide, which were obtained by combining oxygen reduction with increasing fluorine and activated by light irradiation. The microstructure and gas-sensing performance of stannic oxide were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and an electrochemical testing system. The results show that the carbon chain length, functional group position, and functional group species of the measured gas determine the gas-sensing performance of the nanocrystalline SnO2–xFy precipitated from quaternary Zn–O–F–Sn amorphous films by designing the injection sequence of gas in time and space. For 100 ppm gas molecules, the gas response sequences of the SnO2–xFy films are methanol (42.57) > ethanol (30.14) > 1-propanol (15.63) > 2-propanol (12.36) > acetone (10.32). The alcohol gases are apt to be adsorbed on oxygen vacancies to reflect the higher response value and higher optimal temperatures (280 °C), while ketone gases prefer to be adsorbed at the active site produced by fluorine to reflect fast response/recovery speed and lower working temperatures (260 °C).
